Food truck hire in Upper Norwood, from our food truck or trailer
Fillings might include carnitas, al pastor-style pork or chicken tinga, alongside a vegan option such as spiced mushroom. There are options for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free guests. It works well for winter staff parties and leaving parties, serving fresh salsas and guacamole, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
In Upper Norwood, a yard, forecourt or car park can suit a hired food truck. We need a level spot and room for a queue at the hatch, plus your venue’s agreement. Food and drinks can be booked together or separately, so one caterer can cover more of the day.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests
- Measure gates and look for low branches on the way in
- Tell us when guests should eat
- Think about cover if the weather turns
Wet weather doesn’t close the hatch, but guests will want a covered area to eat.
Ask us about evening food later on.
How it works
We need a level, firm spot we can drive the truck or trailer onto, with power and water arrangements agreed beforehand. Send us a photo of the space if you’re unsure. Late-September events in Upper Norwood see sunset at about 7:05pm, so evening service from the truck may run past dusk. In late May, daylight lasts until about 8:50pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- We agree a hatch menu and send a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- We drive in, open the hatch and serve your guests.
- We pack down and drive away when service ends.
How to prepare
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
- Find out what power and water are available
- Get the venue’s permission for us to park and serve

Hiring our taco truck near Upper Norwood

When the service is at a church such as Christ Church, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church. No room on the drive? A hired hall or sports club near Upper Norwood with parking may suit the truck or trailer.

What food truck hire costs
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Guest numbers
- Parking and the route in
- Timings and hours
- Whether you add a drinks bar or food
Pricing depends on the event. A simple party menu and a full wedding day are very different jobs. Your quote sets it all out.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- How we drive in and where we can park
- Your menu ideas
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and allergy numbers
- A picture of the space, if it’s a garden or field
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many guests, plus any dietary needs, and we’ll reply with a menu suggestion and a quote. To get started, drop us a line using the enquiry form.
Should I do it myself?
You can host your own taco night for a crowd, but it takes planning. There are fillings to slow-cook, tortillas to keep warm and salsas to make. Our taco bar guide explains how.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Contact us for a quote to compare.
Where the truck can go in Upper Norwood
We serve from a truck or trailer, so the spot needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A place for guests to eat close to the hatch
- A flat parking spot on firm ground or hardstanding
- A spot away from neighbours
London streets around Upper Norwood can be narrow and busy, and all of Greater London sits inside the ULEZ. Tell us about loading, permits and any parking suspension when you enquire.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.

Upper Norwood questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a garden, field or venue nearby where the truck or trailer can park. We’d serve at the reception venue rather than at the church itself. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is food truck hire possible at a house in Upper Norwood?
That depends on the space. A drive, a courtyard or a suspended bay can all work, as long as the truck or trailer can reach a level spot. Tell us what’s outside, and remember the ULEZ covers all of Greater London.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Our menus are planned with allergies in mind, nut allergies included, and give allergen information for every dish. We plan carefully and keep options separate, though we cannot promise a dish is allergen-free. Guests with severe allergies should talk to us before the event.
Can you do gluten-free food?
Yes, gluten-free options are available, made with corn tortillas. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can explain how we prepare their food. See are corn tortillas gluten-free?
Do you do margaritas?
Yes, we run a Mexican drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. Alcohol at an event may need a licence, such as a premises licence or a Temporary Event Notice, so we’ll talk licensing through with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, like a marquee or gazebo.
Can we add drinks?
The drinks bar comes with bar staff. Alcohol needs the right licence, which we’ll check with you.
Do you provide plates and napkins?
Please ask us. Let us know what you already have, and we’ll set out plates, napkins and cutlery in your quote.
